From Daniel L. Chandler to John Stillman Brown
[page 1]
Mound City, Linn Co. Kansas
April 26th 1862
Friend Brown[,]
We left Paola, three days since, and will encamp for the night at this place, and perhaps may remain here some days. We have seen nothing of Col. Weir, and I suppose the consolidation of the 3d. and 4th. Regts. are complete. Herafter our Regt. will be the 10th. All of the old staff officers of the 5th have been mustered out. Col. Majr. [MS. illegible] Surgeons, Chaplain. Cloud is now our Col. Gunn is our Majr. [Zulaski?] ([Rossuth's nephew) [MS. torn] Adjnt. Drs. Baley and Barker are our Surgeon. Our Chaplain will herafter be the Rev. Mr. Drummond, an Episcopal Clergyman, formerly a private in Capt[.] [Hays?] Co. Whether his services will be acceptable to the united Regt. remains to be seen. One thing is certain, [text stricken through] if knowledge is wanting, the Rev. gentleman does not lack zeal.
If I continue to hold the humble position that I now fill, I will be the only one left of the officers, great or small of the late 4th Regt. I think that I will remain, for when it was rumored in camp that my removal was contemplated a petition, was spontaneously got up [text stricken through] and some five hundred persons put there
